it's been snowing here since sunday and it got to 5 below 0 yesterday. yep, that's in fahrenheit folks so malayong mas malamig dito kahapon kesa sa freezer ninyo sa bahay. i never really imagined it could get that cold, so cold that it feels like your leg will fall off while you're walking. i could have sworn my blood stopped flowing to my extremities altogether. but my toes and finger are still where they should be last i checked so i'm ok.

but the snow out there is a whole other thing. for one, when snow starts falling, they never tell you that snow could get into your eye and temporarily blind you. . .i mean, you never see anyone yelling "my eye! my eye!" while playing in the pristine snow. . . and we would also think that when snow melts ito becomes water. but actually, it first becomes ice which is very dangerous for a klutz like me. first time i walked out in the snow i almost slid to the middle of an intersection because you really couldn't tell where the sidewalk ends and the road begins. . . then when it gets a bit warmer like today, the snow becomes muddy slush which is so disgusting to walk on. and it makes the most annoying squeaky sound when you walk on it. . .

i can't seem to do anything else other than gripe about the snow and the cold. . .

brrrrrrrrrrr.....
